New grants of between 12,000 and 24,000 euros, managed by Red.es, for the digitalization of Spanish SMEs.
SMEs will recieve the funding based on their number of employees:
- Companies between 10 and 50 employees, 12 000 EUR
- Companies between 50 and 100 employees, 18 000 EUR
- Companies between 100 and 250 employees, 24 000 EUR
The funding will be given in order of application. They must be used to contract Consulting Services for Digital Transformation. The aim is to alleviate the shortcomings of SMEs related to the low level of digitalization, especially in the use of technologies such as advanced data analytics, cloud computing and artificial intelligence.
Therefore, aid must be allocated exclusively to the hiring of specialized advice by companies with expert professional profiles, which promote digitalization processes related to business and strategic management, the improvement of customer processes or the implementation of digital enabling technologies.
In its implementation, the Kit Consulting program uses the same management model as the Digital Kit. although the object of each program is clearly differentiated. While Kit Digital is intended for the acquisition of digitalization solutions, the Kit Consulting program subsidizes the contracting of advisory services in digital transformation but does not finance the acquisition of digitalization solutions or tools.
